Never, ever, ever show up to your office holiday party on time.
Fourth of July. My birthday is July first, and my best friend’s birthday is July fifth, so it’s always been a favorite holiday. It’s all about having a cooler full of sodas, hot dogs, and just hanging out and shooting off firecrackers, being low-key, watching the fireworks.
If you think Independence Day is America’s defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

During the holiday season, we’ve asked everyone within the sound of my voice that if you’re going to celebrate, celebrate in a responsible manner.
I’m not the number-one fan of the heavy holiday meal. And also, I didn’t grow up eating them, the traditional Western holiday meals, so it’s just not something I have a nostalgic relationship to.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving for me is re-watching some of the classic holiday blunders that have been depicted on television. I remember laughing uncontrollably on the set of ‘That Girl’ back in 1967 when we shot the episode, ‘Thanksgiving Comes But Once A Year, Hopefully’ during our second season.
In December 2014, Uber held its annual holiday party on an unfurnished floor at its swank, mood-lit headquarters in San Francisco. Employees and investors attended in flamboyant attire from the Roaring ’20s and drank at an open bar into the early morning hours.
It may come as a surprise, but Frou Frou was really like a kind of little holiday from my own work. Guy and I, we have always worked together, and then over the years, it became clear that we wanted to do a whole album together. It was very organic and spontaneous – just one of those wonderful things that happens.
I have already done two Christmas films: ‘Elf’ and ‘Four Christmases.’ I guess I really am a sucker for Christmas. Both movies are really about the importance of family. I come from a brood of five kids, and it’s the one time of year we can all get together. It’s hands-down my favorite holiday.
I am a Christmas nerd. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
‘A Christmas Story’ has become such a special part of the holiday season for so many families.
All I need for a perfect holiday is sun and some peace and quiet. Those make for perfect book-writing conditions.
Serve as a sweet brunch treat or with tea in the afternoon. No one would turn it down as dessert after a big holiday meal, either. You’ll find there’s no bad time for babkallah.
Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin. Now, they are so subtle, they can milk you with two notes. They can make you feel like they told you the whole universe. But I don’t know that yet. All I got now is strength. Maybe if I keep singing, maybe I’ll get it.
The reason I did the book about holidays is that you’re a different person on holiday. You’re sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, knocking about with people you’ve never met and for 10 days you’re someone else. You’re out of your comfortable zone.
I love the idea of having a kid who says, ‘Yeah, of course I knew about Billie Holiday and Johnny Cash when I was nine years old.’
My mother says I was two-and-a-half when I started playing. My father was a minister, and when he went to church in the morning, she would put on Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole and Cole Porter records. I’d crawl up on the piano stool, sit on a phone book and play.
With the exception of an occasional cocktail party with friends, my holiday entertaining mostly centers around smaller get-togethers with family.
I don’t do enough movies that I can call it a career. It really is sort of like summer jobs or something like that.

I filed a brief as a friend of the court in the U. of Michigan to keep affirmative action at the U. of Michigan, which I attended the law school. And I was one of the original sponsors of making the Martin Luther King birthday a federal holiday.
I look forward to the holiday season every year.
Sharing the holiday with other people, and feeling that you’re giving of yourself, gets you past all the commercialism.

My music came right on time. It was romantic Mediterranean music addressed to all the people who wanted to go on holiday.
All definitions of wilderness that exclude people seem to me to be false. African ‘wilderness’ areas are racist because indigenous people are being cleared out of them so white people can go on holiday there.
One should live between extravagance and meanness. Don’t save money by starving your mind. It is false economy never to take a holiday, or never to spend money for an evening’s amusement or for a useful book.
When that holiday party or happy hour comes along, shut her on down. Turn off the Blackberry, put your phone on silent, and go get ’em at the party. After all, you’re about the only one who’s earned it.
April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees.

With all of their benefits, and there are many, one of the things I regret about e-books is that they have taken away the necessity of trawling foreign bookshops or the shelves of holiday houses to find something to read. I’ve come across gems and stinkers that way, and both can be fun.
I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.
